Marquette-New Mexico the only watchable game right now.

This Marquette/NM game is fun.

Cam Jones getting to the lane is so fun to watch.

Random question about the announcers that CBS uses. I’m watching the Arizona game and I believe Beth Mowens is doing the play by play. However, I thought she was an espn announcer. Just curious how that works where the announcers are independent contractors, or does espn allow their talent to be contracted out for the tournament?

Jones is getting into the lane, but he just isn’t finishing tonight and it’s cost his team. Just forcing everything.

haha the BWWs by the airport because I’ve been running around like a crazy person since the ISU game

Haha dang, that's way out there. I wonder if they had a watch party at The Pit.

Thank you, Marquette, for disappointing me enough times during the season to make the correct pick here.

 

[demoncore1031]

Lobos!! Now Michigan State needs to get knocked out.

 

[madguy30]

Oh, fun, it's Oklahoma and the Hurley guy.

Intrigued with the upcoming St Mary's Alabama matchup on Sunday.
Kenpom only has Bama by 5. 77-72
Would have assumed Bama would be penciled in for more than 77.

Would not have guessed New Mexico hadn't won a tourney game in 13 years

I think HS state basketball is happening - it was kind of a zoo over there earlier

Alford probably

Alford probably

Unfortunately you’re right

0 big upsets
0 buzzer beater
0 overtime’s

Is this accurate? One of the most boring starts that I can remember.

Though Im not surprised. This bracket looked like it'd go pretty chalky from the start, at least early on
